Large hairy animation mammal, native to Southern Ontario, Canada. I smell like freedom tastes. 55, if you need to know.
When Sentai and Riverdance culture collided back in '98. A definite red-headed stepchild of the genre.
Closer look at 3b and her wee bat wing'd holo drone in 'a winner is you!' state after you defeat her. I'm wanting to make sure all my bosses have a goofy/fun after state showing the character after being defeated, so this was a good test to see relative scale. #indiegame #unity3d #spine2d
End of my vacay week, relaxation AND progress achieved! 3b is now a fully working boss. Had to go back and do a more elaborate rig for her so she could blink and wave after you defeat her. Now just need to figure out the 'hit blink'. Fanfare by Megum Ryu on Itch.io, kids cheering from FreeSFX.
3b's 'shoot me' drones. She uses 4 of these as defenders while acting as the the final test 'boss' in the Wing Warden training course. I tweak'd the drone to open up the inside so we can see 3b more clearly...and added kitty ears and a bell for no reason. #indiedev #videogames #shmup #spine2d
Quick rig for 3b, just to give her a bit of physics flop as a preview of what the final character will look like. She'll be surrounded by 4 'shootme' drones...you can either destroy or shoot past the drones to defeat her and complete her training course #indiegame #spine2d #bats #shmup #unity3d
Taken a week off to decompress from the day job...and work on my game! Here's 3b in boss mode. She acts as the final obstacle trainees need to pass to be certified as Wing Wardens (think police/park ranger combo) Rough first, cleanup later (alpha build version) #indiegame #shmup #bats #gamedev
Design sketch. 3B acts as course manager and 'final boss' of a flight training school (think the training level in Star Fox). Think I'll simplify the vehicle completely so we can see her more clearly. The Shielded Training Targets (or Shoot-Me's) will be in there, though. #indiegame #bat #shmup
New character for me vidyagarme...meet Three-B! Nerdy-birdy technician / test course manager by day, raver girl by night. She helped to test and refine the hover pack tech that my heroes use to fly so she and other disabled flyers can take to the sky again. #shmup #indiegame #bat #videogame
Doodles I done dood while taking a break at TCAF this afternoon. #tcaf #indiecomics
Just wanted to chuck a few pointers on bird wing animation courtesy of my man Professor Preston. Bend those wings on the downstroke, then arc them on the up to give the illusion of scooping the air!
Sketches of a support character that'll appear in my game to guide and assist the mains. If you're wondering about the missing left wing, they lost it in a childhood accident and became part of the science team behind the ZIP pack, the gadget my heroes use to fly about. Got a fave? #indiegame
Barley toys. Solid coloured barley sugar figurines of Santa, Reindeer, and praying hands, oddly enough. As well, Chicken Bones; crunchy pink peppermint candy sticks with a chocolate center. Atlantic Canadian Christmas standards.
Would protect with life. @jonnalynnalonso.com voices this wee goober, created by animator Lulu McKown. youtu.be/MGjaScBgl3A?...
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WIT CHOO. Anybody sez anything mean to the wee goober, I WILL drive you into the ground like a tent-peg.
Got myself a Supernote Nomad after a few weeks of e-ink sketchbook research, want to post more doodles. Ideas for a 'support' character for my current game project. #shmup #indiegames #videogames
Setting up physics in Spine is super simple, and you can still keyframe the physics-constrained bones as well. Note; I was originally going to clean up all the art with sharp lines, but these rougher strokes are appealing to me...thoughts? #videogames #indiedev #spine2d
I've been doing some in-house camp developing (sitting in a folding camp chair awaiting spine salvation via a new chair that's now 8 days late being delivered) rigging some 'level 00' elements for my demo. I'm using Spine's new-ish physics again for some dynamic motion. #indiegame #spine2d
Anyone up to spend some quality off-the-grid time in a fine old country house? My uncle loaned me the key for the weekend...sounds like a hell of a place!
Hookay, been a bit. January saw me down with the sickness (TWICE), but I managed to rally these past few and implement a points system AND collectibles. I still want to add a dodge-boost and melee attack, but that's currently way above my baby coder paygrade. #spine2d #indiegame #unity3d
Nice things in the mail, always a good way to start a cold week. Thanks @bakertoons.com !
